Priming/ Mobility Full Guide

This program is designed to demonstrate priming and mobility exercises. The first section will be specific priming routines for the big 4. The big 4 meaning squat, deadlift, bench press, and overhead press. For each big 4 exercise listed there will be a general warm-up to follow for that exercise. After that there are supplemental mobility/priming moves listed based on what specific body part or movement pattern it assists.

Priming is the optimal way to warm up for exercise. It helps to target specific muscle groups and movement patterns that are used in the main movement. This is more effective compared to a walk or jog.

Mobility is also a very important component to weight training, overall health and longevity.

There are 3 ways to utilize this guide.

1. Utilize the listed warmup for the specific “Big 4” exercises then add in some additional listed movements based on your specific needs.
2. Follow the above steps and also supplement with a post workout mobility routine that addresses your needs.
3. Take the exercises that help you the most and strictly do those on a recovery day as a full body mobility routine.
